Preferred Label : carcinogenicity tests;
MeSH definition : Tests to experimentally measure the tumor-producing/cancer cell-producing potency
of an agent by administering the agent (e.g., benzanthracenes) and observing the quantity
of tumors or the cell transformation developed over a given period of time. The carcinogenicity
value is usually measured as milligrams of agent administered per tumor developed.
Though this test differs from the DNA-repair and bacterial microsome MUTAGENICITY
TESTS, researchers often attempt to correlate the finding of carcinogenicity values
and mutagenicity values.;
